Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa
Born into the True Guru's house, my wandering from birth to birth came to an end.
My mind is tuned to the music no one plays, the unstruck sound within.
The Word burned away my hopes and wants.
Facing the Guru, I found the Light deep inside.
Wipe out the three pulls of the mind (laziness, restlessness, and calm goodness), and you chew iron.
Nanak says: the One who carries across carries us across.
The iron gets chewed when the ego burns away. Anhat is the unstruck sound, an inner music heard in stillness. The tarai gun are the three pulls that move the ordinary mind. Chewing iron, mastering the ego, is done not by brute force but by grace burning away craving; taaray taaranhaar, the One who carries across, does the carrying.
What melts away when you stop feeding it?
